Description
Join local retired BLM Archaeologist, Scott Thomas, for a rock art tour that focuses on the center of the basin. Explore different types of rock art made in ancient times by the first human inhabitants of southeastern Oregon. This tour visits a prehistoric petroglyph site on BLM-managed public lands, where the art designs were made by grinding or pecking the boulders with hammerstones. There is a short stop to visit the Round Barn Visitor Center, and – if time permits – a look at the historic Pete French Round Barn as well. Family friendly. VAN-GUIDED TOUR (you ride with us).
